Do You Know Santa Claus & The Easter Bunny’s Recipe for Happiness?

“What you gets, you gives & what you gives, you gets.”
–Old Atlantean folk saying

Do you want to “get more happiness” in your life?

If so, don’t wait for the holidays or a vacation–
let’s get started today on Santa Claus & The Easter Bunny’s secret recipe for happiness!

Find a quiet spot for just 6 minutes. Take 6 deep, relaxed breaths.
Ask inside yourself for clear insight…

Now we begin.

These three simple, free choices are your keys to unlock your happiness:

FREE CHOICE NUMBER ONE — What Do You Really Want?

Choose wisely, with raw enthusiasm, what you really want to GET in life–

And what you want to GIVE.

These two will be qualities intertwined around one single powerful idea. You can see through their disguise.

If an actor wears two masks, what do they what they hide?

Why, the one actor who gives them their power.

Realize this:

What you really want to GET is what you will end up GIVING to others. So choose what you want to GIVE the world.

Be grateful in the getting, the giving, the living!

FREE CHOICE NUMBER TWO — Are You Willing to Experience All the Results of Your Desire?

The better your gift is for others, the better it is to get for yourself.

Also, the more you get what is personally good for you, the better you’ll be at giving it to others with good results.

Of course, if you want to benefit by causing mischief, you’ll draw others–even if they’re innocent–into the fire.

Then both you and they will reap the unhappy results.

Unhappy results usually expand their circle of impact the same way happy results do.

You can’t remove the splash a stone makes once you’ve thrown it in the pool.

Knowing this, are you sure your desire is really worth it?

On the other hand:

The more positive and real your way of helping others, the more inspired the way you’ll receive the help you need to help them.

What this means:

The more your desired gift inspires you to make good choices, the more doorways of bountiful expression the Universe opens to get it to you–

And to pour it outwards from you.

FREE CHOICE NUMBER THREE — Will You Start Now?

The brighter your candle burns with a desire to serve, the more illumination pours across the world.

The sooner you start, the sooner your life brightens up.

Wherever you wish to aim your light with a good purpose, good intent, good trust, the better your results spring up in that place.

Wish only for what benefits you–

Give real thanks for what really benefits you–

You’ll grow in the desire to benefit others with what benefits you.

By the light you shine, you are revealed to others.

Because your true desire shines past your masks, you will know yourself better, too.

No matter what you look like on the outside–
on the inside, you’ll be living like Santa Claus & The Easter Bunny.

You’ll also enjoy this special benefit:

As you practice mixing their secret recipe for happiness, your choices–
and your results–
will keep improving.

Peace and Happiness to you my friend!

How to Avoid Wasting Time When You Pray

You know life is too short. Too busy. Too distracting.

You know you want to pray, because you feel the need.

But–please forgive our blunt honesty here:

You want to avoid wasting time by praying without getting results.


Here’s the absolute personal metaphysical truth:

You can’t effectively pray if you can’t or wont really thank the Sacred Source you’re praying to. Otherwise, why bother to pray? Go ahead & just thank yourself instead.

Pretend you’re the Only Total Almighty Source of All Good.

Then pray.

See what satisfaction that gets you.

Let’s face it–we’ve all tried THAT experiment before. Maybe not consciously, but on our lives’ inner roller coaster rides from Extreme Self Loathing to Extreme Self Adulation, and back again. Plus on every section of rickety track in between.

Everyone has tried self worship in all its disguises.

The result:

You know. We all know. It’s a near-total waste of our time.

Except that as we learn more about our limitations–about what we’re NOT–we can gain more respect for what IS beyond us.

That respect–if we’re at all grateful for our existences–can be called “worship”.

We can totally understand historical reasons why many people “batten their spiritual hatches” at the word “worship”.

But the whole point of praying is to unlatch & release our personal spiritual blocks.

So if you have any, why not drop your pointless, worn-out, boring-to-yourself objections to real worship?

After all, when you admit your love for your Sacred Source, you admit your real desire is:

To rise to the surface.

To open that stifling submarine hatch door.
To breathe in the waves of fresh ocean air.
To feel the pure soul of the sun on your skin.

To stop wasting precious time.

Because this brief life of yours belongs to you–not to your old objections against fuller living.

…Many saints old and new encourage us “to worship God with hearts overflowing”. But how can we, in this cynical, pretentious, ignorant, self-denying age?

You can feel we’re talking with total honesty here:

If in your worship you can’t be overflowing with joy, you can be overflowing with penitence.

If you can’t be overflowing with courage, you can be overflowing with fears, put to the grist mill, to power your prayers.

If you can’t be overflowing with wisdom, you can be overflowing with acknowledgment and acceptance of the pains of your ignorance.

Anyways, should you choose even the slightest, tiniest reason to worship God, however meekly or weakly, you will find your inner resources full to the brim for use.

Should you simply choose to do it–for whatever reason.

The results of your more grateful prayers will refresh your life very effectively over time.

The gifts of time can be: your happier, deeper, more powerful life.

Peace and happiness to you,
Rev. Scott Ufford
